1
A Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O Lord, Give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, And in Your righteousness.
2
Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no one living is righteous.
3
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in darkness, Like those who have long been dead.
4
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is distressed.
5
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.
6
I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah
7
Answer me speedily, O Lord; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
8
Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.
